he made the case better for president obama than obama has ever made for himself. so i think not so much the endorsement but just the road map is the biggest favor he did for the obamas. >> 'anne, the romney attack releasing a slew of ads, three states they're not running the ads, michigan wisconsin and pennsylvania. what is it that suggest to you? are they giving up in those states? >> i don't know giving up. you could read it that way. you could also say focusing on better states. michigan was always going to be a long shot. mitt romney wants to win one of his home states, family history there. but it's been a democratic state. pennsylvania, we call it a swing state but that's really a misnomer. it's a state that democrats win and republicans always want to win. it's been a while since it's gone the other way. i'm not that surprised. i gegs it's a little early to not run ads there. let's wait and see if that continues. we have 58 more days. they could always change their minds. >> patricia, all said and done, the conventions may not move the needle at all. anne w

romney has not been able to have this obama versus obama. if it's obama versus romney, the numbers are always going to reflect exactly what it is. >> okay. let's cross the aisle for a moment now. if you're mitt romney's handlers, are you baffled that your candidate is behind despite this tepid recovery? >> i would not be baffled because i've been the one advices hadvicvis advising him on what he should or should not do. when he didn't address -- at the republican national convention. when he didn't release his tax returns in the manner in which he should have in order to ensure the american people he has nothing to hide. and when he's been unable, frankly, to translate the high unemployment rate into something that should be blamed on mr. obama, that's a problem. >> okay. so what do you think is the best way for the president to sell the current economic situation to the voter? because, sir, with all due respect to the concept of you inherited something that was pretty bad four years ago, people get tired of that. their patience wears thin.
